Robiola and Prosciutto Bruschetta
Categories: Recipe of the week
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf rustic Italian bread or sourdough baguette , cut into 16 slices
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic , very finely minced
- 4 ounces robiola cheese
- 6 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1 pound plum tomatoes , chopped
- 1 small red onion , minced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 3 tablespoons chopped green olives
- Drizzle of balsamic vinegar (optional)
Method:
Prepare a grill, indoors or outdoors. Grill the bread on both sides until toasted. You may have to do this in two or more batches. Alternatively, use a toaster to toast bread. Mix olive oil with garlic. When bread is toasted, lightly brush olive oil and garlic mixture on one side of each piece of grilled bread. Spread a thin layer of robiola on each slice and top with thinly sliced prosciutto. In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, basil and olives. Spoon on top of bread slices and drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if desired.
